Katja M. Kwaku

I am a PhD candidate in the Urban Lab in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) department at the University of Connecticut. I am currently studying how amphibians like wood frogs are affected by urbanization. I am also an adjunct instructor in the Biology department at Eastern Connecticut State University. I received my MS in Biology from Tufts University, where I participated in various research projects, including one on the foraging behavior of leafcutter ants in Costa Rica. I received my BSc from McGill University where I majored in Biology and minored in Hispanic Studies. There, I worked in the Green Lab helping monitor the endangered Fowler's toad population in Long Point, Ontario.
